Top Wordpress Plugins for the Smart Blogger

AndyCast Andy says on May 25th, 2007 at 11:42 am

Hi Kim,

Excellent selection of plugins..there are a couple I need to seriously add to all my WP sites.

One additional one I’d suggest for anyone wanting to add video or MP3’s to their site would be PodPress. (http://www.mightyseek.com/podpress/)

Targeted primarily for podcaster, the plugin would be useful to any one wanting to add multimedia files to their blog posts.

Definitely worth consideration.

Excellent post, I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile.

good list of plugins…i already run most of them, what i would like to see is a list of wordpress mu plugins for a site i run

Techie Buzz says on May 25th, 2007 at 2:54 pm

I too use almost all the plugins from the list. I will try out the Bad Behaviour and Duplicate content cure too.

I have created a plugin called Better Tools Management that allows users to reply to comments from the admin screen itself.

It also allows you to sort comments based on post.

You can check on more info at Better comments manager

Thanks, good plugins

This incredibly useful for a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed newbie like me. Thanks for sharing the love!

not complete.

Jaan says on May 25th, 2007 at 5:36 pm

What about Adsense Injection? I believe it should definitely be on that list. Increases CTR by randomly injecting ads into posts.

Timothy Flanagan says on May 28th, 2007 at 10:20 pm

Wow! This is just what we need. Our site is enjoying good traffic, but it’s flattened out even as we make the content deeper and richer. I just know we could serve visitors better with some of these, particularly Related Posts and Popularity Contest. Thanks!

jared says on May 29th, 2007 at 12:44 pm

This is a total newbie question.

Where is my plugin tab?

Are these only for self hosted sites?

I have a page hosted by Wordpress.

Shane says on June 4th, 2007 at 10:47 am

good list

I too have a blog hosted at wordpress.com…how do i install these great plugins?

Thanks

Zach says on July 25th, 2007 at 9:46 am

If you have a wordpress hosted blog you can not add plugins.

Thanks for this list, what a huge timesaver for helping us get our blogs up to speed. I especially like the WP-Contactform for helping us reduce SPAM.

If anyone has a plugin for “Related articles” that would allow me to manually choose articles that go with a post, that would be a great help. I have found the automated ones to be less than accurate for my site.

Thanks again,

Terry

I agree with your point. I think its a nice view to your topic.

Richard Schieck says on May 6th, 2008 at 1:28 pm

Hi Kim,

I was just checking out your “top Wordpress Plugins for the Smart Blogger” post and think they should all be very helpful.

One question. Are you implementing any of the spam blocking ones? If so, which ones? They seem to not be working very well as I have noticed what appear to be commercially based comments.

Such as, a number of comments with tags for “Penis Enlargement”, “Hair removal”, “Viagra” and many more similar type comments.

I am going to assume that these are not the type of comments that you want to be displaying, but if I am wrong and you do, then please forgive me.

I am just curious as to the spam blocking plugins you use. Maybe there is some incompatibilities when multiple ones are implemented.

Please let me know at either my email address, steffsdad@rogers.com, or in a reply to this comment.

Thanks, Richard.

Emily says on June 13th, 2008 at 5:49 am

Thank you for your list.

One of my favourite plugin is DivvaFlip.

DivvaFlip makes photos gallery more glamorous with a flipping engine

Just try DivvaFlip, a page flipping engine, with a very easy
backoffice in AJAX and working with WordPress 2.3 and 2.5 ! :-)

Have a glance to the demo here http://www.divva-plugins.com/
enjoy!

Hi,

I just write a new plugin WP Widget Cache, which can cache the output of your blog widgets. I think it will significantly reduce your server usage, especially when Google is crawling your site.

Will you please have a try, and add it to this list. Thanks very much.

Here’s the plugin url:

Very informative….i will add some on my blog.

Acomplia says on October 25th, 2008 at 4:55 am

I am glad to post my views and points in this blog, but I must say that webmaster of this blog has done a very great job to make his blog more informative and more discussable but unfortunately everything is same here that more than 80% in this and other blogs post their comments for making spam!!!, so i will really all this spam links to google band tool, because webmaster makes blogs for making discuss and for sloving each other problems.
thanks

James Rosenstein says on November 9th, 2008 at 10:12 pm

how about the webpurify profanity filter plugin?

Cesar Noel says on November 10th, 2008 at 3:53 am

I Think All-in-One SEO pack is much better than SEO title. I used Ultimate Tag Warrior before version 2.3 but It has conflicts when I upgraded to 2.5+

Web Designer says on January 8th, 2009 at 3:25 pm

Thanks for the list of plugins. Akismet definitely deserves to be on the top of the list, but there has been instances when non spammers have also been blocked by them.

Web Hosting says on January 8th, 2009 at 3:27 pm

Wordpress is a very good blogging platform whoever, it is advisable that you start your blog with your own domain name so that you can really call your blog yours. I hope you understand what I mean.

Berrie Pelser says on January 21st, 2009 at 12:44 pm

Very bice list, Thx!

Epoxy says on February 26th, 2009 at 5:04 am

Great list, but using too many plugins could spoil the show.

This is a great list . Thanks

How about my plugin that allows you to mobilize your wordpress blog?

It’s called the Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin for Wordpress and once installed, means that every single mobile handset in the world can view your blog perfectly.

Images are dynamically resized to fit the handset perfectly and URLs are retained as well as the all important SEO terms. You can also keep the look and feel of your site from web to mobile by uploading graphics and styling the mobile version!

Version 1.4 is out now and the homepage can be found here: http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....architect/

Alternatively, if you search for “wapple” when adding a new plugin, it’s the only one that appears!

It’d be great to hear what you think as I definitely think it’s worth a mention!

Local SEO Services says on September 20th, 2009 at 8:28 pm

Thanks for the plug ins. I am still looking for one to allow me to optimize the url. Thanks

Здравствуйте. У меня имеется вопрос по поводу контекстной рекламы на Вашем сайте. Вам не доводилось сталкиваться со случаями блокировки аккаунта администрацией гугла за как бы “накрутку”? Как защитить себя в этом случае?

seo says on November 28th, 2009 at 6:36 am

The Wordpress duplicate content cure and seo title tags are an excellent addition to any site. Duplicate content can be a problem with platforms that auto-generate content and it can also be damaging to your seo efforts. Wordpress has an excellent set of plugins.

Jes Extender says on December 21st, 2009 at 6:46 pm

That is a great list! Thanks for sharing.

Hi guys, great post. Just wanted to know about the WP-contact form plugin. How does it work exactly? If I don’t receive the e-mail of the person who wants to contact me, where does the e-mail go?

Nimit Kashyap says on February 5th, 2010 at 8:00 pm

The list is superb and i agree with them, very useful post.
